Dubai Works

This is one animation movie with such a nice message attached to it. Multiple messages in fact. I was in tears when I watched the last 30 minutes of the movie. Most of the times people make animated movies for kids which are funny and humorous but their story lines are not something that can be traced back to reality. The Incredibles for example or many other movies. I don't usually get tears while watching a movie. Very rare is it that I have. Avatar was one movie which absolutely jolted me, even though it's story line was a mixture of fantasy elements and reality. That reminds me, I had to write about how the Avatar movie affected me but then didn't come around to doing that. One of the biggest message that I got from Meet the Robinsons is, even though sometimes we might feel low and jealous of other people and feel that we are alone and our life can't get any better, it does. We should always "Keep Moving Forward" like Louis...

What a traumatic experience! Flight from hell! Already my dad was sceptical about my choice to travel with Air Blue and this whole incident happens! He went to Dubai with my siblings using Emirates. I was like no, I want to come to Dubai using Air Blue. OH MY GOSH! I don't want to go to Pakistan in at least 3 4 years! I am just saying that, I am going again at the end of September, because my Canadian cousin is getting married. Anyhoo. Lots of things happened. Before I go on to type them, see this. Iftar box given by Air Blue at check-in counter. I was so excited until it was 9:15 PM and the boarding call had not been announced. I told mum something is going on, we were supposed to board but I don't see any activity. She is like no it is fine. Then suddenly we saw all kinds of security personnel gather, and discuss things in front of us in hushed tones. People started running around. The Air Blue ground staff seemed nervous too. The women were fidgeting and I kne...

I can't wait to go back and start photographing professionally again. I was going through unedited and unused photographs that I have not touched so far and found this one. It is a really nice photograph but I don't know why I never paid any attention to it before. The angle makes the girl look a bit chubby. She has slight hints of a double chin. For these kinds of photographs, the skinnier the person is, the better. The type of lighting that I normally use, makes a person look like they have more weight on than they actually have. I like to use Split Lighting for Portraiture. I am going to go back and try experimenting with Rembrandt/Chiaroscuro Lighting. The original is in colour but I turned it into monochrome with the perfume bottle still in colour. I think that looks better

From the past few days I have been reading a lot of books. I went to Readings book store in Gulberg and randomly grabbed books just by looking at their titles and covers. Well on most part it was random, I did have some choices in mind. I wanted to read few books that I have not had the opportunity to read yet. I got books like Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell, Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella, and some other books. I did not know how trashy some of the books would be. When Lipstick Jungle first came out, many of my friends (girls) read it and told me to read it. It's amazing! It's a New York Times Best Seller! You have to read it! I didn't pay heed to what they were saying since even back then I didn't like it. I saw it in the book store while I was browsing the racks and bought it. I just finished reading it today and seriously I have made a new record today. For taking the most time to read a book. Usually I finish reading a book very quickly. Ev...

So basically while technically speaking I should be in Dubai and working on my assignments, I am here in Lahore. I am at a place that basically has no water, and no electricity to speak of. I am like in Africa or something since I refuse to eat anything. Tough luck to me, it is so hard to convey sarcasm through typed words. Kudos to the people who manage to convince people of their sarcasm though. I don't want to see Paklinks or even hear about it. I kind of hate Paklinks now. This website has caused me so much pain! It is an evil forum. I was addicted to it but not any longer, thank you to some one for that. People, especially ladies are so vicious! Back biting about others, spreading rumours and lies and ACTUALLY thinking up of ideas to break peoples friendships apart. This is what goes on over there and seriously how low can you go? Don't you have something else to do? You are married for god's sake, spend time with your husbands and not plotting against other people o...

Mumzy's songs are off the hook. I love this song and also Showgirl - Northern Lights Remix. I am listening to this song right now. I love England, long live the Queen. LOL!

My heart longed out to tell him that I would always be there for him. I really liked him. I wanted to tell him that I would never let any harm come upon him. He could always rely on me because I loved him so much. There was this weird bond between us from the beginning like he belonged to me. Like he was mine. I felt sad at the thought because I knew he was not mine and can never be. He was the child of the girl I had loved. He was a student of mine. I had seen this child go through a lot of pain and suffering. My heart went out to him. I did not even care if my attachment to this child would raise eyebrows in society or in people’s eyes. Whenever I saw him, I saw my love. Whenever I saw his face, I saw her face. It pained me to know that she was not in this world anymore. It pained me to know what my friend had done to her. How he had ruined her life. I had stood by her decision to marry him all my only to be counted as her best friend and to see her happy. Even though I was never...
